Same whimsical sketch, different medium! Dip pen and black ink, and a bit of brushpen, on cold pressed watercolor paper. This is so much fun! Based on a sketch by Martin Lachmair @lachmair.art #sketchbook #penandink #dippen #linework #urbansketching #urbansketchers #artyear 31/100-2025

Whimsical little 15 minute-sketch with an ordinary ballpoint pen on cold pressed watercolor paper. I like the experience and the result! Based on a sketch by Martin Lachmair [IG]. #sketchbook #ballpointpen #urbansketching #15minutesketch #urbansketchers #artyear 30/100-2025

Swatching the Kuretake Gansi Tambi Sumi palette. Traditional Japanese watercolours. Fascinating, and I love these muted greys with hints of red, yellow, blue and brown 🩶 #sketchbook #swatching #linework #gansaitambi #sumi #blackandwhite #urbansketchers #urbansketching ##ArtYear

Trying something completely different: the linework of Mark Poulier [IG]. Insane how he deducted this scene to lines and negative space. Just drawing his drawing, and I loved the excercise! #sketchbook #inkdrawing #urbansketchers #linework #urbansketching #blackandwhite #ArtYear 26/100-2025
